Songoftheday 2/20/17 - You're the main reason I dress to impress, and hope so maybe one day I will end all this loneliness...

"If U Were Mine" - The U-Krewfrom the album The U-Krew (1989)Billboard Hot 100 peak: #24 (one week)Weeks in the Top-40: 7

Today's song of the day comes from the U-Krew, an R&B group from the unlikely setting of Portland, Oregon, who shortened their name from "The Untouchable Krew" and released their debut (and only) album in 1989. The first single from the set was the new jack swing jam "If U Were Mine". Written by the act's Larry Bell, James McClendon, and Hakim Muhammad, it had a touch of influences from Bobby Brown to Teddy Riley's Guy...

"If You Were Mine" became the U-Krew's sole top-40 pop hit in April of 1990. A second single from the album, "Let Me Be Your Lover", was a minor hit on both the pop (#68) and R&B (#81) chart. Their record company folded before they could release a second album.

About Me

A 46 (yes, now 46) year old cub tryin' to make it in this crazy world.
You know the rules. Any clip will only be up for a limited time to hear out. Give a hand and go buy the record, either at the link or anywhere else you can find, so you can rest more from the artist. That's how they make their dough, so they can make more tunes. And of course any request from the artist or copyright holder to remove a clip will be promptly honored. I'm here only to spread the love.
